I can't believe I forgot about this sound and hope you guys know how to make it. The sound in question is played at the very beginning of the song. Sort of sounds like water droplets! How would a sound like this be made?

i think he talked about his sub too maybe have a look into that
what does mean "q"? transcribe the sentence in common English, please.

I didn't find any posts about his sub on this forum, google and local search can't help me, by the way :(
In Massive, OSC 1 Saw -12, OSC 2 Sine -12, OSC 3 Sine -24.Play with detuning by small amounts and the unisono, also put it as monorotate. Play with classic distortion and dim. exp. as effects. Low pass and play with the resonance and cutoff to prevent too much top end from the saw. Then saturate and compress.
that was helpful! thank you. I've become near to THAT sound.
Q&A means "question and answer" like an interview session.

Also I'm glad that helped, I just had another though, check out the default Massive patch "3 Octave Sub" and just look at how they modulate the envelopes and cutoff of the low pass filter, quite good ideas.
I actually asked Phaeleh himself, here's the reply:
it's just a sine wave I generated in an audio editor and then threw in a sampler. Occasional eq, never any compression!

Post by knova_ » Sat Aug 11, 2012 11:35 pm

I am trying to emulate a a reggae-ish dub stab that is in liquid strangers "bombaclaad star", this particular stab starts at about 47 seconds
into the song and im not having any luck recreating it.

Can someone help with this???

How would you go about replicating this bass?

Post by bri1 » Sun Aug 12, 2012 2:22 am

Hey guys, I was just wondering how you guys with a little more experience would recommend replicating this bass dillon francis uses?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B324IDDs ... ubs_digest The bass I want to replicate is at 1:34

I was thinking some kind of full waveform like a square, with some kind of distiortion and a formant filter on it with some kind of downward automation?
Am I way off?
What you guys think?

It's always either piano/organ chords or a guitar. It's known as a skank. A bit of spring reverb on it and that's about it.

Well I know this isn't really the thing here but I'd be really interested in how you guys would go about creating some of these atmospheres


I understand the whole reverb/delay/atmos samples meshed together but whenever I attempt it it always sounds dry and small as opposed to the lushness and size of these.
I'm referring to the breakdowns at :40 and 1:40 respectively
thanks

sounds like a fat and heavily resampled saw wave that pitches down. two layers, same sound, one with the formant filter going on, one dry.

Sounds like a couple slightly detuned saws thrown into a vocoder and then distorted. The modulation could be from a vocoder (a vocoder is basically a series of bandpass filters set into bands occupying various points on the frequency spectrum ) or a peak filter.

No offense, but this is very far off and not correct advice.

This is also not really correct.

The waveform is not really important (although it's definitely not detuned). You should start with the following, either a Massive wave in Bend mode (will give you the crunchiness by spreading out the wavetable time), some other from of Wavetable synthesis, or any wave you like really that has the sonic quality you want. Running the wave through a Vocoder 4 Band or 8 Band will help get that slimy sound, I'm pretty sure I hear either 4 band or 8 band vocoder on it to help bring out the bubbly. All you need is a Wavetable/Graintable waveform that's nice and crunchy, running through two Band Pass filters to create the mouth vowel movement, and then some Tube/Tape distortion.

If you are not familiar with the Band Pass vowel trick look here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbWrN8eq0O4

The sound at 1:41. Sounds weird, and scary but interesting! How do you think the sound is made?

Not 100% sure on the actual noise but its sounds like filter automation + whitenoise + a gate like effect
